About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to keep exploring, to make new friends, to put something back

ABOUT ME

I have a silly sense of humour. I am excitable but I can also be thoughtful. I'm loyal and considerate. I might disappear on a night out but I always turn up again before the end of the evening. Got a bit of a wandering streak I suppose.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate only as a surfer at the moment. I am living with a couple as their lodger so it's not really my place to invite people to stay. I've realised though that I can use this site as a way to meet people who might be just-arrived to show them around. But I only just realised it in the last couple of days - I was supposed to be going to Brussels with a friend but she pulled out at the last minute so now I'm going there alone and even though people have got back to me and said, always politely, that they couldn't host me, I was hoping that maybe they'd meet up with me because I'm going to be wandering around on my own a fair bit. I think you have to be in a position to empathise with it and now I know to go on couch-surfing and ask people if they want to hook up for coffee or beers.

Interests

I spend my time writing songs and playing my guitar. I like going to the gym. I like cooking healthy food. Be warned though, I like fresh chilli.
